The History Department at Wellesley College, the private women's liberal arts college located in Wel History is the study of the cumulative human experience.

As a study of change in human society over time it lies at the foundations of knowledge in both the humanities and the social sciences, offering its own approaches to questions explored in both branches of learning. The study of history prepares students for a wide range of careers that require broad knowledge of the human experience as well as critical thinking, research, and writing skills. Most

of the major geographical fields in history as well as the sub-disciplines of social, cultural, political, and economic history are represented in our course offerings and in the research and intellectual interests of our faculty. Read more at: http://www.wellesley.edu/history .99
